Gift for Dad (having a a boy) & gift for daughter

I was trying to think of something to get dad when the new baby comes - we are having a boy. Also need to come up with something for our little girl she is just a little over 3 and we wanted to get her something special any suggestions on either?

I never understood why women get the dad's a gift. Isn't the baby enough? The men give their sperm and we do all the hard stuff for 9 months and then go through a lot of pain! As for the kid, before we had our second we took our first on a special trip, just the 3.

I didn't get anything special bc our first was a girl, so nothing special for hubby just cuz this ones a boy.
DD will be just about 2 when this lo is born, planning to maybe get her a new book or possibly a movie, and a small stuffed animal.

When we had DD2, we gave DD1 a kids camera. Vtech makes a easy to use, pretty indestructible one. She looooved (and still at age 5 loves) it. So many ppl were taking Picts of dd2 and she felt right in the mix taking her Picts too. It's digital, so you can just go back and delete some too. FYI - if u do go that route - get a larger memory card than the one the camera comes with. Then she can have hours of fun with it!!

This is our first, its going to be a boy, and I want thinking about getting him a few Steelers and Penguins jerseys since he is due during football season and right as hockey season starts and they are his dads favorite teams. So its something for the baby yet my husband will be excited about it.

I've been wanting to get my 30 month old daughter an indestructible camera too! But ive been thinking of waiting til her birthday in January.

What I did do already, is made her a backpack with big coloring crayons, a neat notepad, small stuffed animal, bracelets, new board books and she will have some snacks and drinks in there for the hospital stay. This is how I will try to keep her busy while Im in labor.

As for my husband, he gets a BOY just like he always wanted. If you want an idea for a gift though, try something like a cheap mp3 player.

The hospital we had our DS at gave the dads a hat with the baby's footprints on them... My DH liked it except it has hospital name on it.. Maybe get him his favorite sport team hat & have them put the foot prints on it?? (they put then on the bill of the hat) My DH doesn't wear it out but does wear it around the house occasionally. I think it's a cool keepsake even if he doesn't wear it alot.
We just got our DD a big sis shirt to wear when we had our son & the hospital let her pick out a small stuffed animal at the gift shop.
